Chapter 938: Happy New Year to Qu Xingye
The New Year was coming soon. After spending the New Year with his family, Shi Lei called Qu Xingye, the man who sold him the antique watch, early in the morning.
When Qu Xingye received Shi Lei's call, he seemed very casual. After all, it was an unfamiliar number to him.
"Hello, Mr. Qu, Happy New Year, I wish you a happy New Year." Shi Lei said with a smile.
Seeing Shi Lei's politeness, Qu Xingye became a little more polite: "Happy New Year to you too, but who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Shi Lei."
"Shi Lei?" Qu Xingye was obviously stunned. His only interaction with Shi Lei was to sell a watch, so he really didn't react for a while.
But soon, Qu Xingye remembered the name, Shi Lei. Not to mention that they had met once and chatted a lot. Just the four words "Qixuan Bicycle" were inseparable from Shi Lei.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Shi. Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I just woke up and was a little confused. I didn't recognize your voice. Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Mr. Shi. Thank you so much. You can still remember a little person like me.”
"Haha, Mr. Qu is too polite. How can you be a nobody?"
"Master Shi is here now...?"
"I went back to my home in Runzhou to spend the New Year with my parents."
"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Shi is also from Runzhou? What a coincidence. I am also from Runzhou. Although my factory is located in Wudong, I am also celebrating the New Year in Runzhou. Mr. Shi, I really didn't expect it. , it's such a coincidence. This is also a kind of fate. Where is your home? I'll come to pay my uncle and aunt a happy New Year. Thank you Mr. Shi for the ten million. It's really a timely help. Otherwise, I might not be able to catch up with Chu. The rough stone transaction was over."
Shi Lei smiled slightly. The reason why he called Qu Xingye was because Shi Lei knew that Qu Xingye was from Runzhou. Although there was a possibility that he might not come back during the Chinese New Year, Shi Lei still wanted to try his luck.
It seemed that he was lucky. Qu Xingye was indeed in Runzhou, and he actually wanted to visit him.
Probably, he also wanted to have a good relationship. After all, although he wanted to use the 10 million yuan in his hand to redeem the factory, he actually knew very well that this trip would probably It's a waste of money.
Shi Lei didn't want to speculate too much on this kind of person's psychology, but since the other person wanted to visit him, Shi Lei didn't mind letting him come. Originally, Shi Lei's call was not just a New Year's call. If he really wanted to say New Year's greetings, it would never be Qu Xingye's turn.
So, Shi Lei smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Qu. However, when Mr. Qu comes, please don't call my parents uncle and aunt. They are only in their early fifties and really can't afford it."
Qu Xingye said: "You are too polite, Mr. Shi. We are friends of the same generation. This has nothing to do with age. Your parents are of course my uncle and aunt."
Shi Lei didn't say much more and just told Qu Xingye the address. When Qu Xingye heard this, he immediately said: "So your family lives in Dahua Electronics. My home is in the community next to your factory. I can get there in a few steps." . If I had known that your parents lived in Dahua Electronics, I would have come to visit you."
Shi Lei smiled slightly and said: "This is really a coincidence. Then I will wait at home for Mr. Qu to arrive."
Shi Lei said hello to his parents and said that a business friend would come over to pay New Year's greetings. Soon, Shi Lei heard the doorbell.
Opening the door, it turned out to be Qu Xingye outside.
As soon as Qu Xingye saw Shi Lei, he immediately stretched out his hands and said with a smile on his face: "Master Shi, I really didn't expect that our two families are actually neighbors. Although we are separated by a community, it is really... Haha, what a fate. Na."
After letting Qu Xingye in, Qu Xingye saw Shi Lei's parents and hurriedly shouted: "These are uncles and aunts. Happy New Year to you two. My name is Qu Xingye and I am a friend of Master Shi."
Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan were frightened. The other person was in his forties and looked younger than them, but he called them uncle and aunt. This made Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan not know how to answer the question for a while. .
Shi Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Qu, I told you on the phone that my parents are a few years older than you. You must not shout like that. They won't get used to it."
"Then..." Qu Xingye seemed a little embarrassed.
Shi Zhongping said hurriedly: "I think I am a few years older than you. You and Shitou are friends, but we have our own business. Let me call you little brother. Little brother, come on, come on, sit down first and then talk "
After that, she gave Gao Yan a wink, and Gao Yan went to pour tea for Qu Xingye.
At this time, Sun Yiyi and Sun's mother also walked out of the room. Qu Xingye had just sat down. When he saw it, he didn't know what was going on and quickly stood up again.
Shi Lei introduced: "This is Sun Yiyi, my girlfriend, and this is her mother."
"Oh, happy New Year to my aunt. Happy New Year to my brothers and sisters."
Sun Yiyi blushed and looked at Shi Lei indifferently, not knowing what to say.
Shi Lei smiled and said: "Mr. Qu, please sit down first, don't be so polite."
After finally sitting down, Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan served Qu Xingye tea, then excused themselves to go out to pay New Year greetings, and happened to leave with Sun Yiyi and Sun's mother.
Shi Lei chatted with Qu Xingye for a while, but there was really nothing to talk about, so he just went straight to the topic.
"President Qu still has to go to Myanmar on the sixth day of the lunar month?"
"I have to leave on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year." Qu Xingye glanced at Shi Lei and said, "I know that you and Young Master Yu must think that I am hopeless. I sold the heirloom left to me by my family, but I still don't want to make progress. However, this mere 10 million is really not enough to redeem my factory. I have no choice but to try my luck in Myanmar again."
Shi Lei smiled slightly and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations, but I think, Mr. Qu, although you only have 10 million in your hand now, you can talk to the creditor. It's useless for him to take your factory, but you can mortgage the factory to the bank. Then use the loan to pay off the debt. This 10 million should allow your factory to resume operation. Even if it cannot be restored to its former glory, it will not be too bad. Why do you have to struggle with this gambling? "
Qu Xingye smiled sadly and said, "Mr. Shi doesn't understand it very well. The other party is just holding back on my factory. My creditor is my downstream manufacturer. If I can't repay the loan on time, the factory will belong to him. He bought my factory with less than half of the money. Discussing with him is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. "
Shi Lei nodded and thought, then I can only wish you good luck.
"Please tell me about the raw stone trade fair on the sixth day of the first lunar month."
Qu Xingye was stunned, and quickly understood the purpose of Shi Lei's call today, but he still hesitated and said: "Young Master Shi is also interested in gambling on stones?"
"It's not that I'm interested, I just want to see it. I've only heard about gambling on stones before, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Anyway, it's during the Chinese New Year, and I just have nothing to do, so I thought if Mr. Qu insisted on going, I would follow Mr. Qu to see it."
"That's no problem, but to be honest, Young Master Shi, you look at me now, you must not get stuck in it. Of course, Mr. Shi has a big family and a big business, and he may not care about the win or loss of tens of millions. But, it hurts, Young Master Shi, if you go, don't make a move if you can. This thing, without ten or eight years of research, it's really hard to gain anything."
Shi Lei was stunned. He didn't expect Qu Xingye to persuade him, and his impression of this man improved.
